Indeed they do suffer. And mostly at the hands of the muslims.

I missed the part where Muslims were running checkpoints on Palestinian Christians, or bulldozing their houses, or killin them with Apache fired missiles. Forgive me for being just a bit skeptical.

Which is why the Christians in Arab states and in Paliestine suffer much more than the Christian Arabs in Israel. (whose lives are threatened only by the jihadists.

Historically, Christian Arabs lived with Jewish and Muslim Arabs for hundreds of years peacefully prior to 1947. What happened then? Can you take a wild fricking guess?

Whether they do suffer or not outside of Israel, it does nothing to justify treating Palestinians as second class citizens inside Israel or in territories within Israeli control.

People everywhere have an inherent, unalienable right to self determination, life, liberty, and property. Start from there. We should not fund any government involved in denying fundamental human rights. Start from there.

I find it ironic that all I am arguing for is unalienable rights and fiscal conservatism, and getting flamed for it with emotional rhetoric.

Do tell! What happened to the Christians of Lebanon? Do tell how the Jews of Israel are responsible for the routing of the Lebanese Christian community. I always thought it was the Muslims fault.

The Pallies have been trying to murder the Jews of Israel. Israel has fought back. You would rather there was no retaliation for suicide bombing massacres. So does Hamas and Arafat. You have a foolish sympathy for 3rd world barbarians who turn down peace plans and start intifada.
